Thanx for the reply. We wrote an class to do unix printing using the PS MIME I know that works, will then write an class similar like it for the windows printing... I think it is time to put on some scuba gear and dive in.. :) ,, Just one thing while I was stepping through an break point I saw that the user agent sets up a kind of printerjob via an renderer . Did you play with it..?

FOP's PrintRenderer creates the printerjob via java.awt.print.PrinterJob.getPrinterJob(), and never alters the associated PrintService (= the printer), so the default is always used, and it is currently not possible to override this. :/ At first glance, it doesn't seem too difficult to implement an extra parameter (or renderer configuration option) for print output, and allow the user to specify the PrintService to use... If you'd like to do the community a favor, and send in a patch, that would be much appreciated. OTOH, if you dislike the idea of diving in the FOP sources, another option could be to render to PDF or PS, and send that output to the printer of your choice.
